dude,kahas on the kilswitch is the fucken shit.....yeewww

Yep sure am, I will be in town from 16th dec to 4th jan. I'm going to go down to ainslie and get a ditch fix sometime during my trip back, you/anyone else keen for that? you guys like anything brought back from the states?

good to hear that your been riding your killswitch,i havent really had much of a chance to freeride much on mine,just getting it dialled at a bit of speed is all ive managed,just been riding kiera n waterworld on it each week...i dropped the spherical out of my smokies and got rid of the kingpin grind issue..but ive just put 184 Kaha's on my k/switch and now need to get used to them,put smokies on glyde,..any way so much tech goin on all i want to do is get used to all the changes before bathurst...spewin i should be at the pumpy now with u guys but im stuck home waitin for my car to be fix...faaarrrrkkk...cheers bro

yeh bro,rode killswitch on wedsday on some tech/gnar and it was awesome,id never rode it atall prior to my first run that day and was throin heelside checks with ease,every run from then it was just feeling better and better.,totally different to what ive been used,but epic,.definately kills corners,and easier to standup surf style no hands thru corners/sweepers......hangin to catch up this weekend bro,gunna be radfun...

sic dude,new leathers eh,youd be hanging to give em a go on some epic hills i would imagine.,havent got my killswitch yet,probs get it next few days,ill let you kno what i think....hittin some hills next week before chc-pumpstation,try to come if u can,i so wanna check them leathers out...laterbro

whats going on brother, hope your weekend away was sick i had a great wedding wit perfect weather, give us a call to organise a sesh in the next few days would be good before i get a job.

that video is fucking awesome btw. just when i thought the last video is good, you guys take it to the next level. 180's on dervishes both ways in one lane wide, it boggles my mind. i see the crew's growing a bit too!

the slalom was a bit of a disappointment. i didnt have a board set up for a course like that, it was tighter than anything i'd done before so i kept dqing from hitting too many cones. been putting it off long enough, time to get myself a proper slalom setup instead of trying to half-ass it all the time. as for the push race, finished middle of the pack. got the stamina but not the speed.

cant wait to get back home and try new skills in old places. i want to come down to your area too and try all those housing developments i see in your videos and the sutho railway station garage

i've gotten a couple of my friends over here onto longboards and out skating i have run into a few other people around who are moderately serious about it (i.e. not boardwalk-cruisers). a crew is taking shape!

come kiera tuesday.

great vid bro looks like you where having fun. see you soon

Damn, sucks that you got put out of action for a while. Hope you;re getting back into it soon!

Work's going fine... even as a microslave the hours aren't too bad. i'm usually out of work by about 6-ish. daylight saving at the moment so I have heaps of time to [swim/bike/skate/rockclimb] cos it doesn't get dark til like 9.

Keeping up with the skating, but its just different stuff. Miss those thursday night cruises... seattle's downtown sucks bigtime for that -- shitty pavement everywhere, *vertical* hills & security-infested carparks -- but i've been keeping my stoke up with regular cruises along a nearby bike trail, visits to local skate parks, a slalom event or two, and just cruising to and from the bus every day. many afternoons when work's sucking i go for a roll to the swimming pool, so at least I can continue that habit I got into back home! Couple of carparks nearby that are security-free but nothing like the number of spots we have back in sydney. Skated 50 miles on the weekend (http://www.ncdsa.com/contest_registration.asp?ContestID=414), that was pretty crazy, all push on one leg. My legs were ready to drop off after that. Going to shoot for 75-100 next time.

I'll be back in aus around november or december (likely november, as december is F*cking expensive). So make sure I have your shopping list (or anyone else who wants me to pick up some gear here) by about the middle of october, to account for delays/etc. in getting shit shipped to me.

Cool grab shot at the top of your page, where is it?

Seeya around mate and say hi to everyone for me

Picture 771.aviDude, this is that run i was telling you about up at comboyne, put in 1952 Comboyne road Comboyne nsw into google maps and check street level and follow the run all the way the bottom, i didnt have pads or leathers when i was riding this corner as i was trying to dial it in before smashing it on a bigger run, of course i ate shit!

nonstop.

sick photo of you on here haha,wheres that at?

hey man hows it going?

The big main hill on the way in top to bottom mega slides! Bombed the big dipper thing top to bottom and did all the connecting paths around the big dipper with some gnarly big stand ups, also filmed the driveway up the top of the dipper at the front door of that house with a mega slash on the driveway and then dropping the shute together with scissoring standup sldes looked RAD!
